Has anyone tried this or thought about it?

Currently, I have a lvl 75 barb and I'm trying to use Bear Stance and Snake Stance. I'm not sure if Wolf stance is just going to have to be the default for offensive option that is in the 1.0 guide.

Would love to discuss on how to make Snake Stance viable since it is new!

Check out my character klintz on not armory - it is a snake stance throw barb.

I have done 90% of ubers in almost compelte tiered uniques.

Insanely powerful character. Easiest I've done the ubers before in a season.

Snake Stance Summons doesn't make a whole lot of sense seeing as how a Summon Barb is going to have minions doing the heavy lifting and these minions will be hitting a lot where as the Snake Stance play style is more of a hit once and let that hit do the work for you while you can focus on things like kiteing and manual evasion. And so far from my experience with the Poison/Snake Stance play style you are already going all in on this setup for snake stance and Snake Bite and leaving you with only the choices of Mountain King or Glad Dom to max out or dump remaining into from there. (and give or taking from Ancient Blood depending on you current Charms.) So adding in minions to this just doesn't seem possible to me without sacrificing too much of what make poison snake stance good.

Likewise if you want a summon barb you should probably focus on scaling those minions as much as possible to hit hard because they inherently will hit a lot by default. Again poison doesn't care about hitting a lot it just cares about hitting once and as hard as possible and from there with big duration so even on bosses you hit once and done. You run around and avoid damage till it ticks away to its death. Now if poison stacked? This would be a complete game changer and open up the idea of minions applying those poisons in stacks. But, thats not how it works unfortunately.

No pierce for summons. Enough said.

Is nephelem spirit a one pointer or smax? I am currently maxing guarding spirit, shamanic trance and wolf stance with points split between nephelem spirit and guarding spirit. I was wondering if it would be better to leave nephelem spirit at 1 point and put everything i can into guarding spirit. Other skills are 1 pointers..

any suggestion?
